wish I could let you know how much your post speak in such a personal timely way to my heart. God only knows!!!! love you! You are great. Thankful for God’s hopeful visions that lead me forward in uncertainty and trust.

I feel so the same about Emily’s writings. They speak directly to me. In a year when Brave is my word of the year; when my colleagues and I are personally facing potential upcoming retrenchments; when my county South Africa is battling through current tough economic conditions and even tougher socio and political situations, these words bring me reassurance right now today:
We ask today for a hopeful vision of the future even while we sit with question marks.

Emily, I was talking to a young friend today who is in the midst of making big decisions for her professional future so your post was so perfectly timed. So much to consider and your post was a good reminder that God will walk her through if she is looking for His presence. He is amazing! So thankful for the way you use His gifts to communicate His messages. And, of course, I needed the message as well. I shared it with her and heading to FB with it now.

One more thing, I am facilitating a Simply Tuesday study in a Wednesday night small group at our church and it’s going great!! The gals are really connecting with God’s message there as well.

Another passage came to mind as I read your post:
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
(John 14:5-6 NIV)

When we walk with Jesus, we may be in unfamiliar territory, but we’re never lost.

Beautiful words. Providential timing.
My family just moved from the U.S. to Thailand to be missionaries. Our journey has often been turbulent and foggy. His call to go was clear, how everything will work out is not. But, God’s presence is palpable as we obey.
Beautiful words. Providential timing.

I’ve been on an interesting little journey these past couple of years in the area of work; trying to determine my next steps for a job. Meanwhile, I just started blogging this year as I felt led to, but find it confusing to focus on more than one new thing at a time. I haven’t gotten any clear answers about what to do, but trust that God is with me and leading the way!

We all want “the guide”, don’t we? But the ultimate “guide” is found in reading the Word and listening to the Holy Spirit.

This post hit the nail on the head for me! I’ve been through some major medical trials with my aging dad over the last few years. God never gave me clarity about the next step to take–but He was always with me guiding me on the journey!

Jesus said “I am the way the truth and the life”! We must always trust Jesus to know the way without any clarity! If we lean into Jesus and trust Him to show the way we will be demonstrating our faith!!
